Sometime in 2015, as I was sitting at SCGH staff dining area reading something on my phone, it suddenly went out of control, playing strange sounds at maximum volume. I was quite startled and tried lowering the volume using the side button, but nothing happened. The loud noise continued.

I was quite embarrassed, though luckily, only a few people were present. I tried switching it off – nothing happened. No button on the phone was working, while the very loud strange noises continued.

Finally, I managed to open the back case and removed the battery (It was an older Android phone with a removable battery). That is when it went off. I wondered how that had happened.

I decided to not to reconnect the battery until I went home after work. Later that evening, I switched it on again. Upon analysing it, I realized that someone had just taken control of my phone remotely. I then made sure no one would be able to take control of it remotely again.

Live Broadcast

The next day, I went to a smaller staff room during my break. No other person was present. A few minutes later, Katerina, a Mossad agent also working at SCGH, came in, greeted me and sat opposite me across the table. I answered her greetings politely, as I always did when a Mossad agent or Mossad contractor greeted me.

I went back to my phone, while she also appeared to be fiddling with hers.

Without looking at her, I noticed she kept craning her neck, trying to see what exactly I was doing on my phone. In my estimation, she appeared a bit unsettled, like someone waiting for something very important to happen.

I assumed that what had happened the day before was just a dry run. On this day, they were most likely prepared to take control of my phone again, and either broadcast something that would greatly embarrass me, or create panic in the hospital. They probably hoped to accomplish that within the several seconds it would take me to react and remove the battery.

I knew such a tactic couldn’t work. Despite my unfortunate situation, the fact that Katerina was sitting opposite me waiting for something to happen, and knowing that despite their limitless resources they couldn’t make it happen, I thought it to be quite amusing.

I am not surprised to note that they don’t make phones with removable batteries anymore.

Censured on Twitter & Gab.ai

For several months now, I have noticed that if my tweet receives a reply, a like or a retweet, it is immediately muted. And if I retweet or reply to someone else’s tweet, my reply/retweet is immediately muted. This is the situation as of 6 May, 2018.

Therefore, I am only allowed to tweet, as long as nobody likes the tweet. And I have no right to like other people’s tweets. I wrote to Twitter support months ago but did not receive any response. What is surprising is that the muted tweets are just mundane conversations.

So I went to Gab.ai, and same thing happened. In addition, at Gab, I realised that I couldn’t even post or read my notifications anymore ie I am banned in all but name. What I find to be quite unusual is that, in all these situations, I have never received any communication from either Twitter or gab.ai informing me of the reasons behind the censorship.
